You would need to download the video file and save it in the device's storage. You would then play it from the video's path instead of the url.

You can do two things: Stream the video, and start downloading in the back ground. This way the user wouldn't have to wait for the download to complete. When the user plays it a second time you would play it from the storage path.

Or you can download it, and then play it from the storage path. There's virtually no buffering when you play from the device's storage
